I woke up with a start, my breath catching in my throat. For a second, I didn’t recognize where I was. The room was far too elegant, too expensive the golden curtains flowing to the marble floor, the crystal chandelier glittering faintly above, the soft hum of the heater running somewhere near the corner. I blinked rapidly, sitting up in bed, my heartbeat racing.

Then it dawned on me.

This was the hotel. The luxurious one we checked into this morning after arriving in Paris.

Gosh, I almost thought I had been kidnapped, or worse that Vincent had finally carried out his plan and taken me to the hospital to force that terrible procedure on me. A wave of panic rushed through me, and I pressed my palm to my chest, forcing myself to breathe.

You’re fine, Alice. You’re fine.

I threw off the sheets, padding toward the bathroom. My feet met the cool marble, and I turned on the tap. The sound of rushing water echoed around me. I leaned forward and splashed water on my face again and again unt

    “Vincent, you bastard,” I said.The words came out broken, barely louder than a whisper, but they carried everything I couldn’t say out loud. And the cold seeped through my thin nightgown. I stayed there for a second, my chest rising and falling too fast, my head buzzing, my thoughts crashing into each other like they didn’t know where to go.I didn’t allow myself to stay there long.I couldn’t.If I stayed on the floor, I would break. And I didn’t have the luxury of breaking.I pushed myself up, my legs trembling, my fingers numb. My phone was still in my hand. I stared at it like it might burn me. Then I turned and walked straight into the bedroom, shutting the door behind me a little harder than necessary, as if that could shut Vincent out of my life again.I dialed Adrian.My hands were shaking so badly I almost pressed the wrong name.He answered quickly. Too quickly.“Alice?” he said.I didn’t greet him. I didn’t ease into it. There was no point pretending.“He knows,” I said.T

    Whenever I closed my eyes to the kiss, it stopped being a kiss. It turned into something else. Blood. It flooded my vision without warning, thick and red and too bright against white sheets. The metallic smell filled my nose, sharp enough to make my stomach twist. Then the cry came—thin, broken, desperate. A baby’s cry that cut straight through my chest and lodged itself there, screaming even when the sound faded. Voices followed. Too many voices. Doctors speaking in low tones. Nurses whispering. Accusations layered over accusations until I couldn’t tell who was speaking anymore. And then silence. The kind of silence that follows devastation. The kind that never really leaves you. And our marriage—ending not in flames or shouting, but in coldness. Papers slid across a table. Signatures pressed down like final nails in a coffin. Mine hollow. Years ago. But st

    Alice.Just her name.Nothing else followed it, yet it carried more weight than anything I could have said. Saying it out loud again felt like pressing on an old bruise I had pretended no longer existed. The sound of it left my chest tight, my throat rough, my breath uneven. I watched her react the way I knew she would, even if she tried to hide it. Her eyes softened for half a second before she swallowed, before she steadied herself.“Vincent.”She whispered my name like it was fragile. Like it might shatter if she said it any louder. Hearing it from her again hurt in a way I hadn’t prepared for. It wrapped around my ribs and squeezed until everything else faded into the background. The hallway, the cold, the city outside my penthouse, none of it mattered anymore.It was just us.Again.And God help me, I had known this moment would come. I had waited for it even when I told myself I wasn’t.I noticed the baske

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   The Owner Of The Penthouse

    Maybe an hour or a few after our breakfast.That was how loosely time moved that morning. Not in minutes or seconds, but in feelings. In pauses. In small moments that stretched longer than they should have, like the quiet after laughter, or the silence before a truth you are not ready to hear.“Where are you heading to?” I asked my assistant, watching her move around the kitchen with a basket of freshly baked cookies balanced on her arm.The smell of butter and sugar still lingered in the air. Warm. Comforting. We had baked them together earlier, sleeves rolled up, flour on our fingers, laughing like two women with nothing heavy weighing on their hearts. I kept some aside carefully for my boys, arranging them neatly, because somehow, even the smallest things for them mattered too much to me.Mary Jane did not answer immediately. She just smiled, that quiet, knowing smile she always wore when she had already planned something and was waiting for the right moment to reveal it.Earlier t

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   MKV (Markston Kings Vincent)

    Ms. Alice, the dress has been prepared already.That was the first thing I heard that morning, the voice cutting gently into my sleep, like someone knocking softly on a door they were not sure they were allowed to open. My eyes fluttered open slowly, my head heavy, my thoughts tangled and slow, like they were wading through thick water.My assistant entered the villa with groceries, her arms full, paper bags rustling as she moved toward the kitchen like she had done this a thousand times before. The familiar sound grounded me a little. Morning light streamed through the tall windows, pale and quiet, touching the white walls and polished floors. It felt too clean for how I felt inside.“Merry Christmas, Mary Jane,” I said, my voice rough as I flopped back onto the sofa, letting my body sink into the cushions.My head was still buzzing from the wine I took last night. Not a sharp hangover, but a dull, persistent ache, like a reminder I could not shake off. My mouth felt dry. My eyes bur

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Alice Kingston, A Chapter

    That same night.What do you mean, Vincent is not in the hotel? I yelled at my assistant.The words came out sharper than I planned, too loud, bouncing off the marble walls of the suite. Even I could hear the edge in my voice, the kind that made people flinch before they even understood what they did wrong. The chandelier above flickered slightly, or maybe my eyes were just burning. I had been drinking, but not enough to excuse this heat crawling under my skin.My assistant froze where she stood, hands clasped in front of her like a schoolgirl waiting to be punished. Her lips parted, then closed again. She swallowed.“I called to check,” I continued, pacing, heels clicking against the polished floor. “But his assistant said he wasn’t in since he was busy with the meeting.”I stopped walking. The silence pressed against my ears. Busy. Meeting. Lies always sounded so polite when they were dressed like that.I sighed. Hope you paid the man well, I asked, slipping onto the edge of the bed
